1/ There is an under-appreciated point in @ballmatthew's recent deck that anyone looking to understand the next 10+ years of gaming needs to process: kids don't care about AAA, and **probably never will.** This connects directly to the new Xbox CEO @asha_shar and to the recent decisions at Playstation, among others. If you look at Ball's slides on Roblox you'll be blinded by the sheer growth of the platform. But if you have a kid, like me, you wouldn't be surprised by it. My son is eight. When I was eight, I subscribed to Nintendo Power. I had Mario and Zelda bedsheets. I bought the cereal! I was obsessed with these games. I'd played Final Fantasy. Dragon Warrior. Bubble Bobble! Any bit of news about the NES or upcoming SNES and Genesis systems I devoured. My son has at home a PS5, a Switch, an Xbox, a gaming PC, because I have them. He never turns them on. He and his friends only play Roblox games. Kids today have access to more games than I can ever have imagined for way cheaper than what cartridges cost me. Super high quality ones too. He could play any Mario game in history. My kid could not care less. He only thinks of Mario as a character from a movie studio whose opening logo has Minions on it, and he thinks the Minions are funny.
